we are brainwashed to think that 2.70 is a "good deal"
a admit when i see that right now it does "feel" like a good deal, but i have to tell myself that its not.... not even close to one.

Go live in Europe were they pay over $5 gallon! Now that blows! $3 a gallon sucks big time, but even if gas was $1.50, people would still bitch that its not $1.30 |

They pay so much because it's taxed very heavy.
Considering how much of our defence budget has gone to protecting shipping lanes etc... and to ensure below market oil prices. We've really been paying more all along...

People also fail to realize that the Europeans SUBSIDIZE their public transportation with fuel taxes...
Ever try to use public transportaion in this country to get anywhere other than the center of a major city. How about walking to the grocery store like the Europeans do?? When you compare us to Europe you are comparing apples to steak sandwiches in terms of transportation infrastructure... |
